Weathervane Music Organization collaborates with emerging and established independent musicians, record producers, film-makers and video-makers to produce and promote a wide range of innovative contemporary music and music related video productions.

At the end of March earlier this year Brian McTear announced the creation of The Weathervane Music Organization [more], a non profit collaborative effort to help artists in the rapidly changing career landscape they find themselves in today. Since it’s inception it has started a project series with releases from Austin band Sunset and Philadelphia’s East Hundred. Thursday night it celebrates its offical kickoff with a Launch Party at Philadelphia’s Kung Fu Necktie, where the songs and videos from the Project Series will be screened followed by live performances from Papertrigger and The Armchairs. There will also be commemorative event posters by artist Mark Pernice available as well. It’s going to be an amazing night, I have my tix, see you there !

Be sure to stop on by Weathervane’s site where you can find out much more detail about this great new endeavor and how you can help. While you’re there be sure to sign up and download free copies of the Sunset and East HundredProject Series releases.

Tonight a deal you can’t beat, 5 amazing Philadelphia and New York bands at the Tritone in Philly, a club the size of a shoe box, and all for 5 bucks. Any one of these bands could headline a much bigger venue and pack it. It’s going to be a hot time in Philly tonight.
